Jack nodded. “Yeah, I just wish I remember putting it there.”

Polly blinked. “You don’t remember?”

Luna nodded. “One of his other forms did it. We have worked things out.”

Jack shuddered in relief. “Never be too proud to grovel when you have messed up. I have learned that, but I have an adult son and another child on the way. I am glad that I figured out how to grovel.”

Polly cocked her head. “When he’s on his knees, grovelling isn’t usually what happens.”

Luna grinned. “Keep the card, and Minoru can always contact us through Rickart. We are here on his behalf today.”

“Ah. Thank you for coming.” Minoru smiled. “The party will resume at five, so feel free to return and bring your son.”

Luna nodded. “I would, but he is the stable hand at Alita and Niko’s.”

Polly smiled. Alita had looked horsey.

They spoke softly for a few more minutes, and then it was time for another costume change.

When they returned, Alexi bullied them outside, where they were photographed yet again with more flower petals flying through the air around them.

Another hour and a fourth change, and then the box with the wordWeddingwas sitting in her changing area. The dressers grinned and opened the box for her, and she flapped her hands to stop herself from crying. A wedding gown made of silk and beadwork with a transparent back was inside the polished wooden box. It was one that could be moved in and danced in.

She was stripped down, and the lined dress slipped over her head. The heavy arrangement of hair was taken down into thick coils by Kell, who whispered into the hair until it came apart clean. The pins and decorations were put back into her hair, and when Polly looked in the mirror, Kell had made her a crown.

“Everyone should feel like a princess on their day, and now, you look it.” Kell stepped back. “One last round of photos, and you will have memories for generations.”

Polly smiled. “I have memories of those here today. Memories of those I wished could be here.”

Kell smiled and leaned in to whisper to her.

Polly froze. “Say that again.”

“In the back.”

Polly made sure her shoes were on, and she sprinted past Minoru to the reception hall, where things were being moved for an evening of dancing. A figure with a silk hood was in the corner, her face lit by her phone screen. Polly rocked to a halt in front of her. “Olly!”

The woman lifted her face, and she got to her feet. Polly stared into her own features, and then she hugged her twin to her and sobbed.

Minoru trailed. “I thought your twin was an omega.”

Olly spoke, “We were triplets, but Molly sold me to some of her suitors when I was sixteen. After I got out of the hospital, I ran like hell.”

Polly sniffled. “Any time she contacted me, Molly had her alphas track her.”

“So, I had to stop contacting her, but I wouldn’t miss her wedding.” Olly held her tight.

Minoru frowned. “You never mentioned her. Not once.”

“Well, until it was safe, it wasn’t safe.” She smiled and wiped happy tears.

Olly sighed. “Polly, you are wrecking your makeup.”

Polly laughed. “Can you fix it?”

“Of course. Take me to the prep area.” She turned to Minoru and extended her hand. “Pleased to meet you, big brother.”

He looked at her and frowned. “What colour is your hair?”
